The article briefly traces the history of the urban transformations of the Central Archaeological Area of Rome, reflecting on the relationship between the preservation of the archaeological memory and the shape of the city. The still standing urban compartments and monuments reveal themselves as historical archives capable of synthesizing the many faces that the city has taken over time, through the altitudes and orientations absorbed and still witnessed by these parts of the city.
L'articolo ripercorre brevemente la storia delle trasformazioni urbane dell'Area Archeologica Centrale di Roma, riflettendo sulla relazione tra conservazione della memoria archeologica e forma della città. I singoli comparti urbani e i monumenti ancora in piedi si rivelano come archivio storico capace di riassumere i tanti volti che la città ha assunto nel tempo, attraverso le quote altimetriche e gli orientamenti assorbite e ancora testimoniate da queste parti di città.
